So if your network uses internal addresses, then NAT uses your router's real world IP to talk on the web. (Sorry if this is already obvious!)

My point is a router refers to it as WAN(Routable) and LAN(Unroutable), but rarely calls it NAT.

You would however want to set the NAT options on your adapter (NAT mapping and NAT keep-alive) to on if such options are available.

Assuming you are behind a NAT router. ;) (99% of residential users are)
